VSANA, 2025

fading light—

the glimmering shadow

of a sea-worn rock 

 

Sufi hymn—

sea wind echoes 

through the rock

 

receding tide 

the missing tune

of a sailor’s whistle

last goodbye—
the lingering warmth
of dad’s hands

healing touch...
mom’s fingers intertwined
with mine

Sufi meditation— 

prostrating on the ground 

my shadow 

stone carving—  

reshaping the stone

reshaping me

old park bench
the rust also tarnishes
our names’ initials


midsummer tide
the crippled wing
of a migratory bird

The Wise Owl, 2025

clouds at dusk

the deep furrows
of a plowed field


mid-winter fog—
the headless sparrows
on a balcony wall


homecoming…
dripping from the icicles
moonlight

FemkuMag, 2025

honour killing—
in the barren land
overgrown thistles

ragwort wind
silence creeps
through the family garden

cold snap—
aunt flips through
the mammogram report

Edited by Rowan Beckett Minor and Kelly Sargent

------

overgrown reeds— 

she relinquishes her right

to inheritance  

 

fault line— 

the pronoun he uses 

to define me

back home late —
his sleeptalk lasts
till dawn

failed haiku, 2025

before and after
social media ads
Rumi’s love


moon waning over the cliff edge a single mom


long hardship—
the graffiti of stains
on mom’s apron


first chemo
the frayed ends
of her pink ribbon bow

failed haiku, volume 10, Issue 108
